Performance Task (Summary in G.R.A.S.P.S. form): (T)
Goal: Design a game involving linear equations
Role: Game designer for the Mattel Company
Audience: The Executive Board of the company
Situation: You will present your product to the board at the yearly conference where they decide what products get funded.
Product/Presentation: A game that intrigues the board members and gets their approval.
Standards (criteria from both rubrics): Your work will be judged by the board members on content, comprehension, preparedness stays on topic, speaks clearly, listens to other presentations.
Other Evidence (quizzes, test, prompts, observations, dialogues, work sample, etc.):
Other Evidence (OE)
• Tests on structure of a linear equation along with tests that have them solve a variety of linear equations. The test would have multiple choice, matching, word problems and short answer questions.
• Homework Samples - I would need to collect a sample of homework that was the students best work from each lesson or section.
• Projects that the students create to illustrate their understanding of linear equations.
Student Self-Assessment and Reflection
Self-Assessment (SA)
• K-W-L charts - the students would fill the first two columns of these charts out at the beginning of the unit and at the end they would fill out the last column.
• Comic-Life: Structure of an equation - by having them do this the students will be able to see their improvement.
• Rubrics - these will give the students a basis for the material that needs to be put in the project.

Task Description:(T)
You are a game designer for the Mattel company and they have their annual conference coming up where the board decides where funding gets placed. Your supervisor has asked you to create a game that deals with linear equations. This game will be presented in front of the board and if it is good enough the will end up getting funding for the further development of your game.
